DanaM:
Pick up a copy of Traditional Bowyers Bible vol one to start and don't forget a subscription to Primitive Archer magazine.
Like JD sugests in another thread take a class. You can post pictures of your progress here and get help.
But most of aa get busy and make some shavings.
Good Luck

Wasatchhawk:
Thank you for a hearty welcome,  That wasn't nearly as painfull as I thought it could have been.

I started seeing Primitive Archery mag on the store shelf about a month ago and then every store I went into I saw it, I bought one out of curiousity.  I guess you could say the magazine "set the hook"

However I did not get enough from just one issue, so I went to the library and learned about Inter Libraby Loans and got a copy of The Bowyers Bible, couldn't put it down for 3 days!

I will be starting on the Mulberry this week after I get my tools together. The reason I couldn't split the Ahs in Michigan was because I didn't have wedges.  I'll collect the Ash in a couple of weeks. 

I'll post pictures if I can coax my camera to work.  taking digital cameras afield helps save the memories but the elements got to my last one in under a week!

Pat B:
You should get the ash off of the ground ASAP. ??? It won't take long before fungi will set in. :'(

GregB:

Randy, if you will promise to take Justin up on his offer to come to St. George and let him help you get started, I'll supply you a stave to get started on. Hopefully Justin will have room to bring it back home with him from the Tn. Classic. We might even get it roughed in if we have time. Justin will have to remind me of my offer or I'll forget with all that we'll have going on here in the next week. ;)

Wasatchhawk:
What can I say?  You are very Generous Greg.  I really want to make that promise, but can't at this time.

Justin and I were talking about finding other bowyers up this way, Steve  (Badger) possibly has other contacts up here too.

Justin-- once I get settled into this new job, I will try to get together.  I would love to see a master at work.  I learn so much better by seeing something done.

Pat B -- both the ash and Mulberry are still standing.
